INTRODUCTION. 

CHESS without the use of Queens and Rooks 
sounds impossible. As a game it would 
doubtless be so; but so many excellent problems 
have been composed along these restricted lines, 
that any solver who lost the Queens and Rooks 
from his set of chessmen would still have material 
for almost endless study. My good friend and 
collaborator, H. Staerker of Bournemouth, Eng- 
land, recently sent me 2,500 positions in which 
White's force, apart from King and Pawns, was 
limited to Knights and Bishops — the result of only 
a few weeks' search. This book is largely based 
on his collection. All problems in four or more 
moves are omitted, and the restrictions as to 
force are extended to Black; but even so the work 
of selection has not been an easy one. The re- 
sult should at least prove an interesting study of 
the interplay of the minor officers; and any solver 
who masters all the problems should become an 
adept at handling his Knights and Bishops in 
more complex positions. The problems are graded 
in groups, according to the number of White 
Knights or Bishops used. Pawn promotions have 
consistently been avoided, where they involved 
the making of the rejected officers. Nos. 1, 19 
and 48 are distinctly members of our class. The 
promotions in Nos. 17, 24 and 78 are rather in- 



11 INTRODUCTION. 

cidental. Black Pawns cannot, of course, be pre- 
vented from claiming Rooks or Queens, but the 
point of No. 22 turns on the reply to the try, 
1. QSd5, and the problem belongs clearly in the 
collection. 

No regular arrangement according to themes 
was practicable, as the different problems touch 
at so many points. The restriction as to force, 
however, results in certain outline characteristics. 
The attack of a Knight is essentially diagonal, as 
is that of the Bishop; consequently problems in- 
volving flight squares will for the most part have 
them diagonally. Indeed, there exists a whole 
multitude of problems with only minor officers, 
in which the Black King has three or four diagon- 
al flights, usually on the move preceding the mate. 
They are very tame affairs, and repeat one another 
so often as to deserve relegation to the pigeon- 
hole of worn-out themes. Nos. 32, 38, 49, 54, 55 
are the best or earliest examples of the various 
flight-principles involved. 

The most prominent strategic characteristic of 
the collection is the self-blocks by Black. These 
occur in every other problem more or less con- 
spicuously. They should especially be studied 
and compared in the Frontispiece and in Nos. 25, 
30, 31, 48, 56, 60, 61, 64, 65, 74, 75 and 79. 

Another element to be noted is the way in 
which the minor officers can be made to play for 
position according as Black relaxes its guard in 
various directions or furnishes convenient blocks. 
Nos. 44, 52, 53, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 87 all 
illustrate some phase of this form of skirmishing. 
It will readily be seen from the last two groups 
mentioned that in general the problems in th£ 



INTRODUCTION. Ill 

collection must be of waiting, rather than threat, 
strategy; and this trait holds good throughout. 

Less general resemblances and groupings can 
be found by the reader according to his personal 
taste; such comparisons will serve to make the 
book something more than a series of isolated 
puzzles. A few hints may be given at random, 
to be made the starting-point for further com- 
parisons. 

1. Problems with "twin" features: Nos. 4 and 
5, and 98 and 99. 

2. Problems involving en-passant strategy: 
Nos. 62 and 100. 

3. Black King to capture White Knights on 
adjacent squares: Nos. 89, 90, 91, 92. 

4. Echo mates on squares of opposite colors: 
Nos. 39, 40, 41, 92 , 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98. Com- 
parison should be made between the different 
mates 'echoed. 

5. Roman idea: No. 51. 

6. Indian and ambush strategy: Nos. 6, 66, 
67, 68. 

7. Grab theme: No. 23. 

8. Sparring of White King with Black Knight: 
Nos. 5, 15, 29, 58, 62. 

9. Sparring of White Knight with Black Bish- 
op: No. 26. 

10. Sparring of White Bishop with Black 
Bishop : No. 83. 

11. Making a path for a White Pawn to mate: 
Nos. 2, 36, 37, 83. 

12. White Pawns monopolize the main play: 
Nos. 16, 17, 100. 

13. Cornered King themes: Nos. 4, 5, 7, 8, 
12, 15, 20, 23. 



IV INTRODUCTION. 

14. Black force limited to King: Nos. 55, 
80, 84. 

15. No White Pawns: Nos. 9, 13, 20, 22, 46, 
51, 93. 

16. So many problems illustrate pure and 
model mates that it is useless to enumerate them. 
The following by English and American com- 
posers are noteworthy: Nos. 45, 72, 85, 88 
and 94. 

It will be noticed that many of the problems 
are of recent date. There is no question that as 
the refinement of problem composition continues, 
similar results will be achieved with smaller and 
smaller material, so that more and more themes 
will be brought within the compass of the Knight 
and Bishop class. Take No. 33. The four mates 
here combined have been published under differ- 
ent names innumerable times, certainly several 
hundred times. No. 33 was the first example with- 
out a White Queen, but within the last three years, 
at least a dozen other renderings without a Queen 
have been published. This modern craze for the 
expression of ideas in their lowest terms and 
purest forms has its advantages as well as its 
drawbacks. The drawbacks are the many anaemic 
presentations of worn-out themes which no column 
or magazine has as yet shown the strength of 
mind to refuse its diagrams to. The advantages 
are the occasional masterpieces of concise strategy 
and gem-like purity which I have tried to gather 
together in these pages.
